The captivating print titled "Elijah slays the prophets of Baal, 1 Kings" by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Old Testament. In this dramatic illustration, Elijah stands tall and resolute as he triumphs over the false prophets of Baal. The image captures a pivotal moment described in 1 Kings chapter XVIII verses 39-40, where Elijah proves the supremacy of the Lord to all who witness his divine intervention.
